LOS ANGELES ANGELS NEWS

Michael Stefanic - Dealing with minor tightness Stefanic was removed from Friday's game versus the Astros due to right calf tightness, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Impact Manager Ron Washington said after Friday's loss that Stefanic's injury is relatively minor, so an extended absence is unlikely. If he and Brandon Drury (hamstring) are both unable to play Saturday, Jack Lopez would be the favorite to start at second base.

Carson Fulmer - Throws off mound Fulmer (elbow) threw a bullpen session Friday, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Impact Friday marks the first time Fulmer has thrown off a mound since he landed on the injured list in late August due to right elbow inflammation. It's still unclear if the right-hander will be able to pitch again before the end of the season, though the Angels likely won't be in any rush to insert him back into their rotation given the fact they have already been eliminated from playoff contention.

Niko Kavadas - Sitting versus lefty Kavadas isn't in the Angels' lineup for Friday's game against the Astros, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Impact The left-handed-hitting Kavadas will retreat to the dugout Friday as the lefty-throwing Yusei Kikuchi starts on the bump for Houston. Kavadas' absence will allow Charles Leblanc to serve as Los Angeles' designated hitter while batting fourth.

Bryce Teodosio - Taking seat Friday Teodosio (finger) isn't in the Angels' lineup Friday against Houston, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Impact Teodosio suffered a small fracture in his right middle finger during a bunt attempt Tuesday, and although he will be held out of action Friday, there is still a good chance he returns sometime this weekend. While he rests, Taylor Ward, Mickey Moniak and Jordyn Adams will make up the Halos' outfield trio.

Brandon Drury - Idle Friday Drury (hamstring) isn't in the Angels' lineup for Friday's game against the Astros, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Impact Hamstring tightness forced Drury to make an early exit from Wednesday's contest, and it seems he'll need another day to recover following Thursday's off day. In his place, Michael Stefanic will start at the keystone and bat ninth.

Logan O'Hoppe - Sitting down Friday O'Hoppe isn't in the Angels' lineup Friday versus the Astros, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Impact O'Hoppe will sit down for the second consecutive game after going 4-for-22 with two home runs and four RBI to begin the month of September. Matt Thaiss will pick up another start behind the dish instead and bat fifth.

Bryce Teodosio - Dealing with minor finger fracture Teodosio has a small fracture in his right middle finger but isn't expected to go on the injured list and could return this weekend, per MLB.com.

Impact The injury happened when Teodosio attempted to bunt in the seventh inning of Tuesday's loss to the Twins. The outfielder was hit on his right finger on that attempt but stayed in the game and notched is first MLB base knock (a single) on the next pitch. Teodosio exited the game in the bottom of that frame and got X-rays, which revealed the fracture. For that reason, Teodosio didn't play Wednesday, but manager Ron Washington indicated that the rookie is unlikely to land on the IL and could be back in the lineup as soon as this weekend.

Jordyn Adams - Hits first big-league homer Adams went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 6-4 loss to the Twins.

Impact Adams has gone 3-for-10 with two RBI over three games in the majors this season, all coming since his Sept 7. call-up. He earned the promotion with a .263/.335/.385 slash line, 28 stolen bases, 10 home runs, 58 RBI and 78 runs scored over 123 games with Triple-A Salt Lake. Adams has made two starts, one each against a righty and a lefty, so it appears he'll be putting pressure on Mickey Moniak in right field over the remainder of the campaign.

Taylor Ward - Matches career high in homers Ward went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk in Wednesday's 6-4 loss to the Twins.

Impact Ward led off the game with a homer, his sixth in his last 12 games. In that span, he's gone 16-for-46 (.348) with eight RBI and 12 runs scored. The outfielder has matched his career high in homers (23) from the 2022 season, though his .758 OPS this year is a far cry from the .833 mark he posted in that campaign. Ward has added 67 RBI, 67 runs scored, four stolen bases, 26 doubles and two triples over 140 contests in 2024.

Nolan Schanuel - Fills box score in win Schanuel went 3-for-4 with a solo home run, an additional RBI, a walk and a stolen base in Wednesday's 6-4 loss to the Twins.

Impact Schanuel had gone 15 games without a multi-hit effort, batting just .157 (8-for-51) with one extra-base hit in that span. The first baseman had also gone over a month since his last homer (Aug. 8). He's now at a .247/.342/.364 slash line with 13 homers, 49 RBI, 59 runs scored and six steals through 135 contests this season.

Jack Kochanowicz - Saddled with fifth loss Kochanowicz (2-5) allowed four runs on seven hits and a walk while striking out three over 5.2 innings to take the loss Wednesday versus the Twins.

Impact A three-run fourth inning was enough to send Kochanowicz to his second straight loss. He had posted five straight quality starts before Wednesday's outing fell short of that threshold. The rookie right-hander is now at a 5.08 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 15:9 K:BB through 44.1 innings over eight starts. He's projected for a favorable home start versus the White Sox in his next outing.

Brandon Drury - Exits with hamstring tightness Drury was removed from Wednesday's game against the Twins due to left hamstring tightness.

Impact It's not immediately clear when Drury suffered the injury, but his hamstring was apparently bothering him enough to warrant his removal in the fifth inning. The Angels' scheduled off day Thursday will give him an extra day to rest, but Michael Stefanic could be in line for a start at second base if Drury's absence extends into Friday.
